Canvas Gloves

PROTECT YOUR HANDS!

General purpose gloves provide protection against various injuries depending on the construction of the glove. Basic cotton woven styles and jersey fabrics are offered in various weights (uniform industry standard of weighting fabrics by the yard). String knits offer seamless construction and are manufactured on knitting machines in various gauges which refers to the number of rows of stitches per inch. General purpose gloves are constructed with fibers such as 100% cotton for absorbency and warmth, while cotton/poly blends are a bit more comfortable and durable, and resist shrinkage when laundered. Nylon gloves are low-linting knit gloves with exceptional fit, dexterity and tactile sensitivity, with minimal shrinkage. Various coatings such as natural rubber, nitrile, foam-nitrile and polyurethane can be applied to base liners to enhance resistance to abrasion, snags, cuts and punctures, The coatings also increase wear and provide improved grip.

Weights of cotton gloves are designated by ounces. The most common weights are 8, 10, and 12 which represent a uniform industry standard of weighing fabrics by the yard. This means there are 8, 10 and 12 oz. per square yard. This is the true weight of cotton.
